Welcome to FALL!!!!!<br />
With summer over and Main Event and Labor Day weekends behind us, we<br />
head into fall and Fall Fest Weekend. Unfortunately, it is that time of year to start<br />
packing up our campers and raking the leaves.<br />
Fall is still a great time for <strong>Woodhaven</strong>. Walks and bike rides along the trails,<br />
improved fishing in the lakes and cool nights with fires on our lots.<br />
The Board of Directors has appointed Bernie Karlic to replace the rest of the<br />
term left vacant by the resignation of Mark Kotte. Bernie, along with four other<br />
Board Members will be up for election again next year. The Board had come up<br />
with several great choices and, after much discussion, decided unanimously to<br />
appoint Bernie. Welcome aboard!!<br />

done by the December Board Meeting.<br />
I want to thank all who attended the Annual Meeting in August. Several items<br />
were brought up and will be discussed over the next few months at our workshops.<br />
At the volunteer dinner I thanked all of the wonderful volunteers that help<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong> operate all of the wonderful activities and clubs. I mentioned that the<br />
Board is very grateful for all of their efforts and I thanked them by letting them all<br />
know that I look on them as treasured assets of <strong>Woodhaven</strong>.<br />

This year’s Labor Day Weekend provided better than average weather conditions<br />
and many of our owners took of advantage of these conditions to spend some<br />
time at <strong>Woodhaven</strong>. Gate records show approximately 3,000 lots in attendance<br />
and, based on these totals, we would estimate overall attendance of about 13,500.<br />
Regardless of where you chose to spend your Labor Day Weekend, we hope<br />
everyone had a great time and we also want to thank you for another great summer<br />
season at <strong>Woodhaven</strong> Lakes.<br />
As we move into our fall and winter schedules, please make a note of the<br />
published changes in hours at our facilities. We continue to provide our owners and<br />
guests with a number events and activities for your enjoyment, and we encourage<br />
everyone to set aside some time to visit <strong>Woodhaven</strong> throughout the year.<br />
Annual Meeting<br />
The Annual Meeting was held on Sunday, August 25th, at 1:00 p.m., approximately<br />
65 lots were represented and many owners took time out of their Sunday<br />
activities to attend <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Annual Meeting. Those in attendance heard<br />
reports from the <strong>Association</strong>’s Treasurer, President, Executive Director and General<br />
Manager. A question and answer session followed the prepared reports and the<br />
meeting adjourned at about 2:30 p.m.<br />
During the acknowledgments portion of the Annual Meeting, a brief report was<br />
provided on the results of our Property Owner Referral Program. Existing Property<br />
Owners had referred 135 buyers to our real estate office since the August 26, 2012<br />

Budget Process<br />
For <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s management and staff, the next several months are devoted to<br />
preparing and presenting the <strong>Association</strong>’s 2014-2015 annual budget. We will work<br />
closely with the Finance and Facilities Planning Committees to prepare a preliminary<br />
budget to be presented to the Property Owners and ultimately to the Board of<br />
Directors for approval. The Facilities Planning Committee has completed a review<br />
of next year’s projects and the Finance Committee will complete its initial review<br />
of the operating budget on September 21st.<br />
Current year projections and several years of actual history are used to establish a<br />
preliminary operating budget for review and discussion. Major repair, renovation,<br />
replacement and possible new projects are also evaluated within our reserve plan,<br />
and approved changes are incorporated into the planning process. Several budget<br />
workshops and related meetings will be held to refine the budget and prepare it<br />
for presentation to the membership at the Budget Hearing scheduled for Saturday,<br />
November 9th at <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Lakeview Building. Following the hearing,<br />
additional adjustments will be made where they are needed to finalize the assessment<br />
levels for next year.<br />
Please make note of the change in location for the Budget Hearing. With the<br />
construction planned this fall at the Family Center, Beach and Pool II complex, we<br />
have decided to move the Budget Hearing to the Lakeview Building.<br />
The long-range assessment plan recommended during last year’s process projects<br />
assessments to increase from $1,120 for lots with sewer services to $1,170; and<br />
from $952 for lots without sewer services to $1,000. As we have with prior<br />
increases, the proposed assessment level is projected to remain the same for 3 more<br />
years, through fiscal year 2016-2017.<br />
September: Sat. & Sun. 8 a.m. - Noon<br />
<strong>October</strong> 1-13: Sat. & Sun. 8 a.m.-11 a.m.<br />

Based on this plan, the average incremental change in assessments since<br />
acquiring the water and sewer assets in 2008 calculates to an annual equivalent of<br />
about 1.43% per year. In addition to this analysis, we also calculated the change in<br />
annual assessments including water and sewer fees from 1985 when the <strong>Association</strong><br />
completed its transition from the developer. At that time the assessment and fees<br />
for a sewered lot totaled $557. The average incremental change since 1985 through<br />
fiscal year 2016-2017 calculates to an annual equivalent of about 2.42% per year. A<br />
statistical analysis process is sometimes overlooked in the assessment decision, but<br />
it does provide a basis for comparison with other factors. For example, from 1985<br />
through <strong>2013</strong> the price of gasoline has increase by an annual equivalent of 4.03%<br />
to 4.33% per year; minimum wage has increased at an annual equivalent of 4.67%<br />
per year in Illinois and 3.27% per year on a combined analysis of the Federal and<br />
Illinois rates; average home values at an annual equivalent of 3.40% per year; and<br />
social security at an annual equivalent of 2.83% per year.<br />
Considering this data, we can demonstrate the <strong>Association</strong> is accomplishing<br />
the objective of working well within normal inflationary levels. As we look to<br />
the future it is important for us to continue to increase the assessment at moderate<br />
levels and within inflationary norms to maintain and improve the services we<br />
provide for our membership. Improvements you can look forward to include the<br />
continued resurfacing of our roads, enhancements to the Pool 2 and beach area,<br />
lift station renovations, and addressing a growing demand for access to internet<br />
services. In addition to internal improvements, some of the financial issues<br />
facing the <strong>Association</strong> include external factors like the minimum wage debate and<br />
changing requirements with healthcare.<br />
As noted in the Annual Report, a lot-to-lot internet access program will require a<br />
substantial investment from owners with preliminary estimates indicating assessment<br />
increases of $400 to $600 per year. Obviously we will not be able to address<br />
this issue with a $50 increase; however, we should be able to improve the existing<br />
hotspots and provide increased access from these locations. Our current network is<br />
supported with bandwidth capacity of about 20 Megs, which is only slightly higher<br />
than most high speed residential home services. Over the Labor Day Weekend<br />
there were multiple occasions when more than 500 devices were connected through<br />
the Wi-Fi hotspots. Our system was overloaded and many individuals were not<br />
able to access these services. Our immediate goal is to significantly increase our<br />
bandwidth capacity to provide more support for the hotspots. Please read the WiFi<br />
Hotspot article on page 18 for more information on our current network.<br />
There are many budget issues for us to work through this year and adjustments<br />
will be made before the final fund allocations are completed and submitted for<br />
Board approval in December. At the December 9th, <strong>2013</strong> Board Meeting, the<br />
committee’s recommended assessment levels will be presented for Board approval.<br />
The assessment invoices will be prepared based on the approved fund allocations<br />
established within the assessment and invoices will be mailed to owners in January<br />
2014. With the fund allocations approved, the budget planning process shifts its<br />
focus to finalizing the line item budget, updating our five-year operating plan, and<br />
adjusting our reserve plan so the Annual Budget Report can be approved at the<br />
March 2014 Board Meeting. With each issue of the <strong>Woodhaven</strong> News, we will<br />
provide you with updates on the budget process as we work through this task over<br />
the next several months.<br />
Firearm Concealed Carry Act and <strong>Woodhaven</strong><br />
With the State’s enactment of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, the Board<br />
sought legal opinion to determine what, if anything, the <strong>Association</strong> needed to be<br />
compliant. For all practical purposes, the <strong>Association</strong>’s rule prohibiting the carry<br />
or use of firearms is lawful. Because of our private property status, the <strong>Association</strong><br />
may restrict concealed carry of firearms on most common areas but must post<br />
regulated signs. The Illinois State Police Department is currently in the process of<br />
establishing the required signage.<br />
Rules specific to firearms and guns in general can be found under Article I<br />
sections 11 and 12, which states, “Section 11. Air Guns. The use of air or spring<br />
powered rifles or handguns, bows or crossbows of any type are prohibited.<br />
Possession of these weapons, for purposes other than transporting in a vehicle<br />
and out of the public’s view, is prohibited from <strong>Association</strong> common areas; and,<br />
Section 12. Firearms. No person, other than those specifically designated by State<br />

<strong>Woodhaven</strong> Lake Activity<br />
Area<br />
Plans for renovations to the pool<br />
bathhouse/concession stand and pool<br />
entrance, and, for the beach improvements,<br />
moved forward in September<br />
with the submission of design specifications<br />
to the Illinois Department of<br />
Public Health and in the posting of<br />
notice to bid on six areas of demolition<br />
and/or construction. Approval from the<br />
State could take two to five weeks and<br />
hopefully will not require additional<br />
work. At this time the Board is tentatively<br />
scheduled to hold a Special<br />
Meeting on <strong>October</strong> 4th, for the purpose<br />
of approving bids. Work on the parking<br />
lot and construction of the bathhouse/<br />
concession extension and roofing will<br />
begin late <strong>October</strong>.<br />
2014 Restricted Projects,<br />
Continued<br />
The Facilities Planning Committee<br />
completed their initial review of<br />
proposed projects for 2014-2015.<br />
Scheduled items in the Recreation<br />
Department include replacement of:<br />
the Pinball Machine, <strong>Woodhaven</strong><br />
Lake Playground Structure, Black<br />
Oak Lake Playground structure, and<br />
the playground surface in section 17.<br />
The basketball/tennis courts at both<br />
the RecPlex and <strong>Woodhaven</strong> Lake<br />
Activity Area need to be resurfaced;<br />
sport surface tiles are being considered<br />
as opposed to asphalt and paint.<br />
In Aquatics, scheduled items include:<br />
continued work on both pool’s filtration<br />
systems electrical elements, replacement<br />
of the diving board stand at pool<br />
1, and the acid feeders for both pools.<br />
At the beach, the wooden guard chairs<br />
need to be replaced. Consideration is<br />
being given to replacing the safety row<br />
boat with a stable and safer to use water<br />
safety boat with a heavy duty trolling<br />
motor.<br />
Page 6<br />
<strong>October</strong> <strong>2013</strong>
Also being proposed but not on the schedule are sound buffers or baffles for<br />
the Lakeview Building. This is a high use facility for both meetings and social<br />
events; the noise created with just conversation can be overwhelming. Over the<br />
last year we have been experiencing moderate to excessive water loss through the<br />
ponds and creaks at the mini golf course. A project to seal these waterways is being<br />
investigated for possible funding in 2014. The Committee discussed at length the<br />
development of a water playground; their recommendation to the Board is to have a<br />
feasibility study conducted to properly assess need, location, and potential cost.<br />
In the Water/Sewer Department, projects include: restoration to three lift stations,<br />
sand blasting and painting the stand pipe and purchasing a portable generator. Other<br />
funding would be attributed to annual allocations used for unforeseen repairs to the<br />
water and sewer mains as well as any necessary engineering or other related profession<br />
services. These funds are typically used on an as needed bases.<br />
The Facilities Planning Committee will meet in <strong>October</strong> to make a recommendation<br />
on the list of projects to be considered in 2014-2015. The entire list will be<br />
included in the Budget Hearing documents which will be printed in the November<br />
or December issue of the <strong>Woodhaven</strong> News.<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong> After Labor Day<br />
There is so much more to <strong>Woodhaven</strong> than what happens between Memorial<br />
weekend and Labor Day. Fall’s colors should be at their peak, just in time for our<br />
Fall Fest weekend, <strong>October</strong> 12 and 13; a detailed schedule is included on page<br />
16. The Children’s Halloween Party will be held Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 26th at the<br />
RecPlex. If you are wanting or needing relaxation, try a cozy camp fire on a crisp<br />
fall evening. Take a hike! on any of our 14 miles of gravel or grass trails; hiking<br />
maps can be picked up at the <strong>Association</strong> Office or viewed on our website: www.<br />
woodhavenassociation.com. Reservations for the annual Thanksgiving Dinner held<br />
Saturday, November 23, are being taken at the office; don’t wait too long as this<br />
very popular event does have a limited number of seats. Invitations are sent to last<br />
year’s participants.<br />
Fall Festival<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Recreation staff has prepared a number of programs and activities<br />
for <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Fall Festival weekend. We hope all of you will have the opportunity<br />
and will make plans to enjoy <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Fall Festival weekend on <strong>October</strong><br />
12th and 13th.<br />
Following Fall Fest weekend, the <strong>Association</strong> Office will be closed on Sundays.<br />

Loose-Leaf Pickup Begins In <strong>October</strong><br />
Loose-leaf pickup season will begin <strong>October</strong> 15 and will run through November<br />
30. Rake leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, and other leafy materials to the front<br />
of your lot along the road in a windrow. A windrow is when the pile of leaves is<br />
strung out along an area in a narrow row. Leaf piles should be within 5 feet of the<br />
roadway but not blocking or obstructing traffic so that the vacuum tube is able to<br />
reach the pile effectively; the vacuum has limited reach.<br />
Paper bag pickup will end <strong>October</strong> 14 while brush pick up continues each week<br />
through November 30.<br />
The leaf vacuum is designed to pick up leafy materials so do not incorporate<br />
sticks, rocks, soil and trash into the piles to be vacuumed. Piles with these types<br />
of material will not be picked up. When attempting to pick this foreign material<br />
up with the leaf vacuum, time is lost due to frequent clogging in the hose and/or<br />
damage to the unit. Piles not picked up will be the responsibility of the owner/<br />
contractor to dispose of and/or separate any debris in the piles.<br />
Landscape material is not allowed to be put in or around the dumpsters so please<br />
utilize the landscape pickup service.<br />
Property Owners wanting to utilize this service are instructed to sign up at one<br />
of 4 locations on property. This is the same procedure used in all landscape waste<br />
pick up. The sign-up sheets are located at the True Value Store, Administration<br />
Receptionist Desk, General Store, and Gate. We ask that information written down<br />
be legible since it must be transferred to another worksheet that is given to the<br />
vacuum operators.<br />
The procedure for lot-to-lot pickup is as follows:<br />
1. Lists are picked up on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week during<br />
the pickup period.<br />
2. Each list is compiled and given to the vacuum operator.<br />
3. The vacuum operators finish the current list before moving on to the next.<br />
The above procedure is the fairest most practical method to those requesting this<br />
service. Be aware that the vacuum fills up thus requiring a trip to the composting<br />
area behind the True Value store. Your leaves will get picked up as long as you sign<br />
up for the service. On occasion, due to human error in the transfer of information,<br />
lots are inadvertently missed. Please contact the Resource Department.<br />
Fall Rainbow Trout Fishing<br />
The season will officially open at 6:00 a.m. on the Saturday of Fall Fest weekend,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 12.<br />
We will once again be stocking rainbow trout into Pine, Bluegill, and Hidden<br />
lakes for fall fishing. This coming fall 1000 pounds total of rainbow trout will be<br />
stocked into the above mentioned lakes only. These fish will be approximately 1<br />
pound plus in size. The catch limit is set at 3 fish per day, not per lake. Anyone<br />
that plans on catching/taking these fish will be required to have an Illinois Fishing<br />
License as well as an Inland Trout Stamp. Since other species of game fish are<br />
present in these lakes, anyone fishing these waters with the intent of not catching<br />
or keeping any trout will not be required to have an Inland Trout Stamp. Any trout<br />
caught by these anglers must be returned to the lake. The season will officially<br />
open at 6:00 a.m. on the Saturday of Fall Fest weekend, <strong>October</strong> 12. Lakes<br />
containing trout will be closed once trout are stocked until the opening time.<br />
I am issuing this disclaimer that if conditions arise which prevent the stocking<br />
for the Saturday of Fall Fest weekend, the trout will be stocked as soon as conditions<br />
allow! In the event known changes arise, a message will be posted on<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s website indicating such changes.<br />
These fish are stocked as an alternative species to pursue during the fall, winter,<br />
and spring. Trout are not intended to be an ongoing fishery as is the case with bass<br />
and bluegill species, which have sustaining populations. Trout will not reproduce<br />
in our lakes nor tolerate our summertime water temperatures. The intent is to put<br />
the trout in for Property Owners and guests to utilize for sport and food. It is hoped<br />
that all trout stocked will be utilized by the time the water temperatures reach 70<br />
degrees the following summer. Trout are coldwater species thus they will not<br />
survive in water over 70 degrees for extended periods. By stocking these fish in the<br />
fall, it allows 3 consecutive seasons of use (fall, winter, and spring).<br />
One does not need a fly rod to fish for trout; a light spinning or casting rod works<br />
equally well, if not better, on most occasions. Trout will take a variety of baits and<br />
small artificial lures. The key is to think small when it comes to rigging your pole<br />
for trout. Use small lures, hooks, bobbers, and weights when pursuing trout. Baits<br />
used for bluegill such as wax worms, night crawlers, and red worms will also work<br />

for trout. In the past, cheese has worked well for catching trout, as did Trout Power<br />
Bait made by Berkley. Mini-marshmallows have also worked well for the trout.<br />
Roll the cheese (Velveeta works well for this) or Power Bait into a ball and place<br />
on a small number 12-14 treble hook. This can be fished under a bobber or on the<br />
bottom with a light weight attached 12-18 inches above the hook.<br />
Catch and release angling for the trout is discouraged due to the fact that these<br />
fish have very low survival when handled. It would not be fair to other anglers for<br />
one person to catch trout above the limit only to have them die when released. An<br />
angler, with a trout stamp, not intending to keep trout can give his limit of 3 fish<br />
away. Once 3 fish are caught you will not be able to catch anymore fish for that<br />
day. Anglers are not allowed to have in possession more than 3 fish on a given day.<br />
Anglers must also keep his or her fish separate from other anglers in a group.<br />
Plan to Remove Your Boat from Lake Storage Areas<br />
This is a reminder to pick up your boats from the lake storage areas as well as<br />
any common areas around the lakes prior to December 1. Boats stored at the designated<br />
boat storage areas or any common area must be removed between December<br />
1 and March 1. By doing so, those boats that are abandoned can be identified<br />
and steps can be taken to locate the owner. In addition, routine maintenance can<br />
be performed if needed. This is also a good time for watercraft owners to make<br />
sure that the registration sticker is current and the section/lot numbers are affixed<br />
to the outside of the boat. Staff will pick up remaining boats after December 1.<br />
Notification letters will be sent out to the owners of boats as long as the section/lot<br />
number appears on the outside of the boat. To reclaim a boat picked up by staff, the<br />
owner will be required to pay fees for pickup and storage as well as provide proof<br />
of ownership. Any boats not claimed will be auctioned off after a period of one<br />
year. Please take time this fall to pick up your boats from all common areas. If you<br />
have questions concerning this matter, please contact the Resource Department at<br />
(815) 849-5209 extension 258.<br />
Improper Landscape Waste Disposal Practice<br />
As a reminder landscape waste including ashes and other debris are not to<br />
be dumped into any common areas including: lake shorelines and ditches. This<br />
practice is detrimental to native communities of plants and animals as well as being<br />
unsightly. The debris can also be dangerous while mowing in the designated mow<br />
areas. Please utilize the landscape waste pickup services outlined in this article to<br />
keep our property looking beautiful.<br />
Bass Lake Sediment Removal Project Set to Begin<br />
Here at the end of August, the contractor is bringing in his equipment in preparation<br />
for the dredge project slated for the fall. The crews have run the pipe from the<br />
spoils basin down to the finger of Bass Lake in Section 2/3. This pipe will carry the<br />
sediment-water slurry up to the spoils basin in Section 5 near the sled hill. In the<br />
basin, sediment will settle out of the water and the clear water will return to Bass<br />
Lake. In addition, there are two barges that have been placed on the lake to carry<br />
support equipment.<br />

At the Bass Lake ramp area, the crew will be fusing additional pipe together<br />
following the Labor Day weekend. This pipe will follow the dredge out into the<br />
lake and connect to the other section of pipe referenced above. All together there<br />
will be approximately a mile of pipeline when the dredge is at the very south part of<br />
the lake.<br />
Based on recommendations made by the engineer, dredging will be conducted<br />
in the fingers, as well as sections of shorelines in 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 & 11. The dredge<br />
will stay off shorelines a distance of 5 feet so as not to undermine existing seawalls.<br />
There will be an approximately 25 foot swath along the selected shorelines in the<br />
project. Also included will be the extension of the two west fingers in Sections 2,<br />
3 & 4. Originally, this was to be a separate phase but there will be cost benefits by<br />
including at this time. The areas dredged cannot exceed the capacity of the spoils<br />
basin which is approximately 18,000 cubic yards of material.<br />
Bass Lake will benefit from the dredge project since a significant amount of<br />
sediment has accumulated mainly in the backs of the two west fingers over the<br />
past 12 years as well as in other areas. The upcoming project is geared toward<br />
removing accumulated sediment down to the “original” lake bottom. Depending<br />
on the area of the lake this could be from 1 – 3 feet of sediment. This will increase<br />
depths in areas of the lake while removing a portion of accumulated nutrients that<br />
exist in the bottom of the lake.<br />
The project is scheduled to finish up in December given adequate weather<br />
through the period and few obstacles to slow the progress. If not finished this fall,<br />
work will continue into the spring as soon as conditions allow.<br />

Haunted House – The Haunts of Holcombe Hall<br />
<br />
It will be a Boo-tiful evening when we hold our very own Haunted House at<br />
“The Haunts of Holcombe Hall”. The Department of Recreation will be pulling<br />
out all the stops to bring this tradition to you. Are you looking for a good scare?<br />
Well then, bring the entire family to the Pool 1 area (Holcombe Hall is the building<br />
located left of the pool) on Saturday evening for some spooky fun!<br />
The Haunted House will run in two sessions.<br />
Jr. Session: The first session from 4-6:30 p.m. will be for children under 12,<br />
since it is still light out and the young ones may not scare as easily. We will also be<br />
playing Halloween Party Music in the house, rather than the scary/creepy sounds<br />
that will be abound in the later session and we will have fewer characters present.<br />
Sr. Session: The second session will be from 7:30-10 p.m. - be ready for some<br />
excitement! All the “ghouls” will be out.<br />
The Haunted House will be operating rain or no rain, warm or cold, so dress for<br />
the weather! ($2)<br />
(Please remember that the “spooks” will be taking a break from 6:30-7:30 p.m!)<br />
Haunted House Rules & Acknowledgements<br />

Magic Matt’s Spooky Fun Show<br />
<br />
He’s Back! Magician Matthew Scherer will present his Spooky-Fun Magic<br />
Show on Fall Fest Weekend. Audiences will delight in magically illustrated stories<br />
featuring goofy ghosts, silly skeletons and more. Following the show Magic Matt<br />
will teach the audience a simple magic trick too! This is a family-fun program for<br />
all ages. Magic Matt will be here for two shows on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13 at 11 a.m.<br />
and 2 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room<br />
Flea Market<br />
<br />
This is your last chance of the year to hunt for that special bargain or unique<br />
collectable. Come to the Rec Plex on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13th from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.<br />
to look for those treasures that can’t be found just anywhere. This is your chance to<br />
get the first of your Christmas shopping done. Don’t miss this great opportunity!<br />
The Great Pumpkin Patch – a <strong>Woodhaven</strong> Tradition<br />
<br />
This year’s pumpkin patch is going to be packed with pumpkins. Each year, the<br />
popularity of this program grows… there will be over 1,700 pumpkins, so come<br />
one, come all. The Pumpkin “Hunt” has most certainly become a tradition for<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong> Property Owners and their families.<br />
Pumpkin tickets will be made available at the carnival ticket tent near the<br />
Pavilion Playground on Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 12 from 11 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. as well as<br />
the usual time on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13 at 9 a.m. Only one representative from your<br />
family needs to be present to purchase tickets. Multiple tickets can be purchased<br />
at this time. However, tickets will be limited to one (1) for each person in your<br />
group that will be present at the hunt between 12 noon – 3 p.m. (In other words you<br />
cannot purchase more than one pumpkin per person).<br />
Parking for the Ticket Sale and the Pumpkin Hunt will be available in the<br />
General Store parking lot as well as the Rec Plex parking lot.<br />
Each person who purchases a ticket will receive a different number between<br />
1-1700 when they enter the pumpkin patch. Your goal is to find the pumpkin in the<br />
patch that matches your number.<br />
The Pumpkin Patch will be open from 12 Noon -3 p.m. for you to redeem your<br />
ticket for a pumpkin on Sunday. Once you have purchased your pumpkin ticket,<br />
you can pick up your pumpkin anytime between 12 Noon-3 p.m. Each ticket<br />
is assured to receive a pumpkin! This means you will have more opportunity to<br />
enjoy other activities that will be taking place throughout the weekend. Stop at the<br />
wooded field next to the General Store starting at 9 a.m. on Sunday to purchase<br />
your official “Great Pumpkin Hunt Ticket”. We do recommend that you purchase<br />
your tickets in advance. ($2)<br />

Thanksgiving Dinner Dessert. This may be, but is not limited to, cookies, brownies,<br />
pie, cake, or confections. Please bring enough for twice the number in your group.<br />

sweet potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, cranberry sauce, etc., will be provided.<br />

Dear Property Owners and Fellow Wi-Fi Users,<br />
I hope this summer has found you enjoying all of the natural wonders as well as<br />
technological benefits that <strong>Woodhaven</strong> provides. Labor Day weekend of the <strong>2013</strong><br />
season is now behind us, and I felt this would be a great opportunity to address<br />
some of <strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s technology issues with all of you, specifically in regards to<br />
our public Wi-Fi system.<br />
I routinely receive questions regarding the usage process and future development<br />
plans for our public Wi-Fi coverage.<br />
Due to the limited amount of bandwidth coming into the <strong>Association</strong>, we do<br />
not have any current plans for significantly expanding the Wi-Fi coverage. The<br />
<strong>Association</strong> currently receives a total of 20 Mbps from our Internet Service<br />
Provider, and this network traffic is shared amongst all facilities for business<br />
purposes as well as public coverage. This is simply not enough to dramatically<br />
expand our coverage. On busy weekends, literally hundreds of unique users<br />
attempt to access the network at any given time. As an example, on Sunday<br />
of Labor Day weekend, we peaked out at almost 500 devices at a single time<br />
attempting to access the network. Most basic cellphone data plans offer more<br />
downstream bandwidth than what we are given by the ISP to share between all of<br />
these clients. As you can see, this is why on busy weekends it can be so difficult to<br />
connect, stay connected, or have access to decent speeds.<br />
Another obstacle to significant expansion is the lack of a fully encompassing<br />
wired backbone from which to branch off of. Building a massive, fully redundant,<br />
dynamically routed network throughout the park would be an expense only made<br />
possible by a significant increase in assessment amounts. There’s no doubt that<br />
some members may be interested in such a feat, but history tends to suggest<br />
otherwise. When T6 Broadband, our Internet Service Provider, initially implemented<br />
the tower that you see in front of <strong>Woodhaven</strong>, their plan was to offer<br />
wireless internet access at a fair price to <strong>Woodhaven</strong> members who were willing<br />
to pay them for service. Today, 7 years later, there are only a small handful<br />
of members who have ever signed up for the service. This suggests that most<br />
members would not be willing to spend even a modest monthly fee for a wireless<br />
Internet connection.<br />
There are also usage guidelines that, while not official, should be paid attention<br />
to while utilizing the public system. Since bandwidth is shared by everyone, the<br />
intentions of the network have never been bandwidth intensive video streaming<br />
over the Internet and other such resource hungry computing tasks. As a service<br />
that is provided as part of your assessment, the Wi-Fi locations that we offer are in<br />
place to serve as a point of presence for moderate Internet usage, web browsing,<br />
checking email, and similar tasks. Especially during busy weekends and trafficheavy<br />
summer days when the park is full, you should not expect to get more than<br />
a couple Megabits per second at the absolute most. The system is designed to<br />
provide a fair connection for a moderate amount of people. There may be times<br />
during these busy weekends that you will not be able to connect to the Wi-Fi at all.<br />
This is because the system is simply overloaded and no more IP addresses will be<br />
handed out at that time.<br />
Over the course of the past year or so, we’ve also had numerous members<br />
attempt to connect external bridging devices and other devices such as repeaters<br />
and high-gain directional antennas to our network in an attempt to connect from<br />
a distance that would normally be “out of range”. These devices have repeatedly<br />
and consistently wreaked havoc on our internal network due to misconfiguration<br />
issues. Most, if not all, of these misconfiguration issues stem from devices that the<br />
<strong>Association</strong> is not informed about. Stated another way, the network was designed<br />
to provide access to client devices only, such as laptops, tablets, Wi-Fi enabled<br />
phones, and comparable devices. (Another example would be an iPod touch or<br />
Wi-Fi enabled, handheld device.) Attempting to extend to, or repeat from, the<br />
network locations with self-purchased bridging or repeating gear impacts network<br />
performance adversely and further degrades the network experience for other users<br />
on the network. We would ask that to be fair to everyone involved to please utilize<br />
the network in the way in which it was designed. Connecting to the network with<br />
a repeater or bridge that we are unware of may cause you to be disconnected or<br />
blocked from the network.<br />
I do hope that I’ve answered some of your questions and concerns regarding<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong>’s Wi-Fi locations. I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer season,<br />
whether you are emailing, surfing the web, or simply sitting by the campfire.<br />
Happy Browsing!<br />

WINTERIZING: Why take a chance with frozen plumbing this winter? Why taste anti-freeze all summer? We will do it for you, when it becomes necessary, and guarantee the job - without<br />
putting anti-freeze in your pipes. Get on our PERMANENT winterizing list now and never worry about your plumbing again.<br />
In addition to our GUARANTEED WINTERIZING , we also offer two other services, WINTER WATCH & SPRING PHYSICAL.<br />
WINTER WATCH: We will do a weekly check of your trailer to see if everything is alright. Every other week, mid-November through March, we will enter the trailer to check for mice,<br />
vandalism, roof leaks, etc. On alternate weeks, we will drive by to check the outside of the trailer. A record of each visit will be kept in your unit and in our file, and you will be notified by phone<br />
or mail of any problems which require your attention.<br />
SPRING PHYSICAL: In the spring, when weather permits, we will give your unit a complete check-up. We will check all appliances for proper operation and also check your roof, skin, and floor<br />
for damage and condition. We will check the water system for leaks and if there are any, they will be repaired free of charge*. (*ONLY if we winterized and if no water was put into the system<br />
before the spring physical)<br />

God saw you were getting tired,<br />
and a cure was not to be.<br />
So He put His arms around you<br />
and whispered “Come with me.”<br />
With tearful hearts we watched<br />
you fade away.<br />
Although we loved you dearly,<br />
we could not make you stay.<br />
A golden heart stopped beating,<br />
hard working hands at rest.<br />
God broke our hearts to prove to us,<br />
He only takes the best.<br />

I want to say “Thank you” to the Public Safety department for their care<br />
and assistance after I was stung by a ground bee multiple times. Your help was<br />
greatly appreciated!<br />

Holy Hole in One!<br />
It has become my duty and pleasure to announce and shout to the readers of<br />
<strong>Woodhaven</strong> News that Gayle Gusak stroked a HOLE IN ONE at Shady Oaks<br />
links. It was August 6, <strong>2013</strong> on the 17th hole, which is 127 yards, par 3. Rich &<br />
Gayle bought their campsite in Section 18 way back in 1976. So they have been<br />
golfing at Shady Oaks many, many times. Gayle’s father started her golfing at<br />
about 12 years old, so she has been at it for awhile. This is her first and only hole<br />
in one. For the 9 holes they played that day, she shot a 44, not bad. So if you see<br />
Gayle, say “Congrats!”<br />
